For about a month I have been constantly dreaming the same nightmare that something is haunting me and trying to hurt me, in my dream I am constantly going to the same place and this thing is there and something strange happened to me a few nights ago, I was having another nightmare and for the first time I realized it was a nightmare, my mind was telling me it was just a bad dream and it couldn't hurt me and I felt everything happening around me in my room but I couldn't move. I was very scared of the nightmare I wanted to shout and open my eyes, but something seemed to hold me and I could not move I did not know what was happening and what to do on the one hand I was in my nightmare, on the other I was awake and felt everything in my room and at one point I woke up panting and I was paralyzed after a moment I was already moving my body. Please if anyone has had a similar case and can write to me to help.

It is called a "panic attack", it appears unexpectedly or if you have experienced a very strong shock or you have been under great stress. The brain itself unlocks a self-defense mechanism you have the feeling that you are fighting or trying to escape from something. You experience a great influx of adrenaline, strong anxiety, tension and strong fear. A "panic attack" lasts close to one to ten minutes, depending on how intense the experience was. In the next attack, you have to be very calm, not to panic and give in, to have a lot of patience and you have to realize that this it is not real, and to face it. You have to face this nasty nightmare on your own and tell yourself here !!!! I did so and it hasn't happened to me for a long time.
